LOL

I received a pm of Paul Comodo saying that my account has been upgraded but nothing happened

Xan

u tried to logg off the forum and come back?
or maybe it's a little mistake, i can't tell, it's possible it takes a little time to update your upgrade, but it's very fast normally, admins just have to change some settings on u and it's updated in seconds.

[eXPerience]

Just logged off and back on . No changes 

Xan

[ailef]

can't access end of the forum? moderators only?
i can't help, paul or some other comodo admin will fix that if they told u were added to the comodo testing group.

[eXPerience]

Well ... I'll log off and go to bed now. Hope it's fixed then (if I can join of course  )

Goodnight

What are we talking here? Need anyone else? I have a Vista 64 bit machine with SP1 and inside a VM I have available (Xp Pro Sp2, Server 2003 Enterprise, XP Embedded, Vista Business 32 & 64 bit, Windows 2000 Professional, Server 2008 Enterprise & Standard, XP Pro 64 bit, 3.11 no that isn't a typo, 98SE). Why so many windows? Well 3.11 from when I first started using windows (after starting on basic, then moving to dos), then I went to 95  but I lost my cd, then I went to 98SE (yeah I waited), then Win2k because I knew ME was crap, then XP Pro, and then Vista Ultimate 64 bit. The rest of the stuff I got because I am also a student member of the IEEE Computer Society, and we have an MSDN partnership through e-academy. So basically I have a bunch of copies of windows I can break inside of a VM. Oh, and for the VM I use Virtualbox from Virtualbox.org..... I just hope that Sun doesn't break it.

Ya, sometimes I like to think I am serious, given that I am a developer, but is Comodo serious?

Reading some of Melih's rhetoric about Comodo being "for the user", one would think that there would be a prominent "Best Practices" board, where there is no promotion of any particular product, just good advice about the importance of good habits from veterans to rookies.

For example, it is possible to go without a firewall or an AV and not get infected.
Is there any board on this forum that promotes that ideology?

I will just say that if someone thinks that the major financial institutions rely on firewalls and AVs as their first line of defense they are sadly mistaken.

do u think a MS system can be safe without any protection?
and if u use comodo, don't u think that defense+ is the only real solution to prevent u from any mlaware?

if u wonder if comodo is serious, maybe u don't need to help a team that seems not serious for you.

Comments such as this only serve to reinforce solcroft's comment:
"..a culture of isolationist self-worship at their forums."
"..their fanbase seems to be built purely on inexperienced newbies who allow themselves to be deluded by leaktest results and the opinion that they actually know how to use Comodo's products to any effective degree.."

i think u don't understand the objective of testmypcsecurity.com
there's no place for fanatic testers to show that this or that firewall is the best, the testing group is here to test all firewalls in total impartiality and to help the all community against infos about firewalls that got a popularity based on nothing concrete.
our testing group is working on each firewall the same way, our objective is to give a testing result based on facts and we're looking for any way to bypass or crash all firewalls, don't care which one is it.
so if u think our testing group is composed only of comodo fanatics, u're just wrong, we work for the community and deliver results where there's no place for fanatics that would modify results to place the firewall they like at first place.
and if u would look at results in testmypcsecurity.com about comodo u would see that my test said that comodo failed keylooger test just cause i decided that comodo should detect the keylogger activity like did OA, even if comodo told the prog tried to access keyboard, OA alert told the file was a keylogger, so if i was a fanatic, why would i act this way?
i think u     just have     a    wrong idea about our testing team, but if u think that , i'm not going to post hundred times to prove u our work is all except a fanatic concept for some firewall.
maybe some other people can explain our objective too, but we talked about it lot of time now.
so make your decision, the important is that we     know what we are and what we do and we're proud of our work for the community.

and maybe i'm a newbie but u can always ask to OA my part of help from OA build 95 to last OA build, so it's a strange attitude for a comodo fanatic to help a competitor cause build 95 had big issues and i helped them fixed all issues, and this deserves people that use this firewall, so if it's not to help community, tell me what is it? why a fanatic newbie of comodo helped OA at this time? cause issues were very serious and it needed ot be fixed for customers security.
but i'm a comodo fanatic for you?
your comment is just not credible, so why posting those accusations as u just don't know things our team did to help a competitor?
so i'm a fanatic newbie and i don't know what i'm talking about, got others things to tell on me or my team?

Sure I have some time at night to waste. Not much during the daytime but as long as there is no set schedule I think it'll be fine. Oh, and axl they do rely on firewalls. Hardware firewalls. Not to mention that many Banks use *NIX servers which have firewalls built into them. Windows might get used on the floor, but their servers are most likely going to be *NIX whether it be System V or Solaris (which is System V now), or a Linux Variant like RHEL (Red Hat Linux). So you are right in a sense.... If you meant to say would a bank rely on Comodo firewall for Enterprise security then that answer is no. Would you? I know I wouldn't. But you aren't a bank, and neither am I. NO one is going to spend that much time trying to hack into your system because you don't have billions of dollars inside your house (I'm assuming). and if you do.... What is your IP address?
